Re: with all the rumors, is it likely jackson,ronnie, or JO will not be here next season?

I am absoloutly hoping we don't trade Ron or JO. I think they should be considered untouchable unless a Garnett or Lebron deal comes to the plate, which will NOT happen.

I am not necessarily FOR trading Jax, but I'm not against it either. I don't think we should shop him around, but if we have a chance to get Ray Allen without trading JO or Ron, then Jax is expendable.

Re: with all the rumors, is it likely jackson,ronnie, or JO will not be here next season?

I am open to seeing Fred, Pollard, Cro, Bender, Edwards, Gill, AJ moved for one good player preferably a good backup pg. One who could start and do well in Tinsley's absence. (even I worry that he wont give us a full year and playoffs)

I would take NVE, or even Sam I am as a backup. Both of them can score and we need that against Detroit. NVE might not be able to give us a healthy year either so that leaves Sam. Andre Miller wont be available and neither will Kidd plus Kidd is a coach killer.

Re: with all the rumors, is it likely jackson,ronnie, or JO will not be here next season?

I know I get this feeling we may be on the short end of the stick. Another reach for talent deal like The JO for Dale Davis deal. Stephen Jackson is a good positive in the locker room. I don't think he's a cancer. JO CAN BE...But he will mature. This team was so close to beating detroit 2 years ago! We can still do this! If we blow it up now we are admiting the past 2 seasons have been failures and the direction we went in was a bust.

Re: with all the rumors, is it likely jackson,ronnie, or JO will not be here next season?

I would prefer to keep SJax/Tinsley/Artest/JONeal unless Tinsley is traded with:

A ) Any combination of Croshere and JJ/Freddie/Pollard/Foster/Croshere/Bender ( pick 1 ) for an acceptable starting PG that is durable and an upgrade at the backup PF spot.

or

B ) SJax, Croshere and Pollard for a more durable 1st tier PG, a solid starting SG and an upgraded backup PF.

The main thing that I want to do is get a better backup PF who can start for periods of time ( or play more productive minutes ) then Croshere. Otherwise, if we can't upgrade at least the backup PF or starting PG.....I hope they stand pat and do nothing significant.

Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.

Re: with all the rumors, is it likely jackson,ronnie, or JO will not be here next season?

will one of them DEFINITELY be traded?
I don't know if we should blow this thing up like everyone has been talking about.

Who's "everyone"?

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

That's what I thought. I didn't realize I had become plural, or *God forbid* the majority.

I wouldn't take NVEvil for a used snickers bar. Cassel is like 68 years old.
DON"T TRADE FREDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you would regret it)
